The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I find conspiracy theories fascinating and although the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High cannot be technically categorized as a conspiracy it is controversial enough to ignite the interest of anyone regardless of background opinion on the issue at hand.
Let me first state that I do not …
Movie: Saw VI
Well, I didn’t really want to, but I gave in and finally sat down to watch the film Saw VI.
I have seen the previous five movies in this series and, while the first couple were somewhat unique and entertaining, I got a bit bored with it by the fourth …
Bring It On Again Movie
I totally loved the Bring It On Movie which was the first part of this second movie, and as I was excited to see this one, first I was disappointed because they had totally changed the characters, Eliza Dushku and Kirsten Dunst weren’t the main characters anymore, and nobody …
Movie 2001 Maniacs
I thought this movie was so weird, so gross, and so disturbing. And yet, I couldn’t stop watching it.
In the beginning it’s just creepy. I mean, the town is so weird, anf the people are freakishly happy to see these kids. You pretty much get a bad feeling about …
Tokyo Majin Episode 2
Tokyo Majin Episode 2 shows how Tatsuma Hiyuu transferred to Magami High School and met Kyouichi Horaiji, Aoi Misato, Komaki Sakurai and Yuuya Daigo. It’s basically an origins episode that shows how they were first attacked by the undead.
Because of the very confusing first episode, I didn’t know …
The Golden Compass movie
I watched this today with my younger sister. I was surprised at how interested I was in the movie. Most of the time when I watch movies with her I just do it to relax and I sometimes pay real attention to the movies but other times I just …
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Whenever you try to remake a popular cartoon of the 80s or 90s into a live-action film, you run quite a few risks. And, just as often as not, many attempts at this wind up being complete disasters.
Fortunately, Alvin and the Chipmunks was not one of those films.
We’ve been …
The Little Mermaid II: Return To The Sea animation movie
This is a sequel to The Little Mermaid, an obvious attempt to cash in on the popularity of the first movie. Ariel, a former mermaid turned into a human, lives with her human husband, Eric, in his palace. They have a daughter, Melody. When baby Melody is taken to …
Knight and Day Movie (2010)
As I saw the trailer for this movie a few weeks ago, I knew I had to watch it, seeing Tom Cruise in action again, plus with funny Cameron Diaz playing as his lady love in the movie. When the movie finally hit the screen, a lot of people …

Team America Animated Movie
Now this is one movie with the kind of difference that I really appreciate and love and it was no surprise really for me to discover that ‘Team America’ was developed by the same guys who brought us the controversially entertaining ‘South Park’ series.
It’s quite some food for thought …
Zero for Conduct
Jean Vigo was one of the most beloved filmmakers of the early sound years, but unfortunately his career was way too short with only two full feature films. Vigo suffered from poor health from a very young age and died from tuberculosis in 1934, only 29 years of age. …
Finding Nemo The Movie
I highly recommend it to all lovers of computer animation. It is suitable for your whole family. Finding Nemo is a Walt Disney production. The film is very well done for which we have to thank the guys from Pixar Animation Studios. Well, what’s the story.it is about the …
Unfaithful film
Adrian Lyne’s UNFAITHFUL is a film not for the faint of heart. That is not to say that it is in some way gruesome or graphically gory. It’s sentimentally hard to watch. In UNFAITHFUL, Diane Lane’s character Connie’s motivation for infidelity is not thoroughly or intellectually explored. She appears …
Prince Caspian
I think that the movie Prince Caspian is unduly overlooked. I am a huge fan of Narnia, so maybe I’m biased, but I do believe that this movie deserves far more recognition and rave. Ever since the first Narnia movie was released, I looked forward to Prince Caspian; the …
Fargo
I’ve always said there are many under-rated actors in Hollywood, and Fargo has two of them. William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi have helped many movies succeed with their performances, without the accolades of their peers. This movie is no exception. Both actors made this movie successful.
Macy is a …
Blood Diamond movie
You know, even though I take an interest in world politics, I have found I’m not a huge fan of movies about obscure problems in other countries.
That’s probably why, even though I tried to enjoy the film Blood Diamond, I found myself actually getting bored by it.
The plot wasn’t …
Rugrat’s In Paris movie
Rugrat’s in Paris is a great family movie. This is the sequel to the first Rugrat movie. This movie is about Chuckie’s family growing and his visit overseas to Japan. I liked that this movie is great for children as well as for adults. At least, the adults that …
Ice age 2 movie
Ice Age 2 the meltdown is the best movie for families, that has come out this year. I was laughing from beginning to end. They really do pick up where they left off from the last movie. My kids just loved it and I did not …
Jackson Masters The Lovely Bones movie
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so uncomfortable and so gripped by a movie as I did in the first hour of Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. Considering I pretty much knew what was going to happen, I’d say Mr. Jackson should get all the credit he deserves.
Truly a …
17 Again (2009) film
I have just came back from the theater having watched this film, I must let you know , all my friends and I laughed our lungs out through out the length of the movie, surely what we did might have disturbed those sitting around us. Well, I was really …
Transformer 3: Dark Moon Movie

In the past two films the war between Autobots and Decepticons has been at the center of the storyline …
The Princess Bride
To blave, that’s what this story is about. And if you find that inconceivable, try to stomach the kissing scenes and see where that gets you.
Seriously, this fairy tale is so full of enjoyable characters that the movie could have gone on for quite some time and I would …
Bad Santa
I’m not a huge Billy Bob Thornton fan so, when his movie Bad Santa came out, I really avoided watching it. However, it was on one of our movie channels the other day and, since there was nothing better on, I figured I would give it a chance.
It wasn’t …
The Terminal Movie
When Tom Hanks plays in a Spielberg production the result can be nothing less than success. The movie The Terminal was first screened in 2004 and has since been one of my favorite ones. I loved it immediately when I first saw it. Spielberg talks about survival, adaptation in …
Othello movie
Orson Welles, who of course is mostly known for his cinematic milestone achievement Citizen Kane, had a lot of financial trouble in his career. Hollywood didn’t think his films would make any big money, so he had to look for investors abroad. Most of his films were financed in …
Exam movie
This is a review of an older film, called Exam , modest, but not necessarily weak. A British film that I watched with pleasure.
Exam tells the story of eight talented candidates who are facing the last task that they need to complete to be admitted as employees of a …
“Two Thousand Maniacs” (1964 Film)
In the early ’60s, screenwriter and director Herschell Gordon Lewis created what became known as the “blood trilogy”- three overly-gory films that single-handedly created the “splatter” sub-genre of horror. 1964’s Two Thousand Maniacs succeeded Blood Feast as the second installment to this classic trilogy. In my opinion this is …
Mission to Mars Movie
Brian De Palma is a filmmaker I used to be big fan of. When I first saw his incredibly powerful films from the 1980s, like Scarface and The Untouchables, he become one of my favorites, but unfortunately he proved to be a very uneven director who got worse with …

Magic Mike film

Movie : Dance of The Dead
Masters of Horror entry Dance of The Dead is actually one of my favorites. When you read some of the reviews on this it gets roughed up pretty bad but I actually felt it had some good characters, an interesting backstory and a horrific conclusion. I think …
Movie: How to Train Your Dragon
Since last night was New Years Eve and we didn’t have any plans to go out (we couldn’t find a sitter) we decided to stay home and watch a movie with our oldest daughter. Fortunately for us, we had the film How to Train Your Dragon.
This is a movie …
Movie Wednesday
Exceptionally good movie that is all I want to say about this one. The debutant director, Neeraj Pandey did very good job by presenting such a thoughtful movie to the Indian film industry. Keeping in mind that this is his first movie, his efforts should be applauded. Everything was …
The Dilemma (Movie)
The Dilemma is newly out of cinemas (Depends where you live) here in South Africa. The trailer was very ammusing, and i thought the movie would be hilarious.
I rented the movie on Box Office (Exclusive to Dstv, a south african TV company) for a fairly cheap price. I eagerly …
Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
Get ready for the thrill ride from this feature length movie starring Tim Robbins as Jacob Singer, a Vietnam soldier. As the movie would have it, there are multiple sides to this chilling story that you need to pay close attention to, one side of the story is that …

I am a really big fan of the books by Meg Cabot, Princess Diaries, so I watched this movie and I just loved it! Anne Hathaway plays Mia, a girl from San Francisco who is considered a geek and is in love with jock, Josh. She has a …
American Dad
I rarely watch American Dad. It’s a funny show, but the jokes are a little too crude to be watching with my daughter in the same room.
I did watch last night’s Christmas Special though and was entertained.
I think the reason I liked it so much is the fact they …
The Negotiator movie
